I'm using emacs and the VM package to read mail under NetBSD 6.1.5 on a
daily basis, often working with mailboxes many tens of megabytes in
size.  Once every few days of doing this, emacs becomes unresponsive,
consuming 100% CPU.  I rebuilt emacs with debug symbols, and the last
time this happened, I caught the following backtrace:
